FA Racing partners with Logitech G to present new, elite simracing team for the 2019 season.

Two-time Formula One World Champion, 24 Hours of Le Mans and Rolex 24 at Daytona-winner Fernando Alonso and Logitech G, the leading innovator of gaming technologies and products, today introduced a Season 2 FA Racing Logitech G esports team that will participate in global esports competitions across a variety of platforms and games, including: iRacing, Project Cars 2, Gran Turismo, rFactor2 and DiRT 2.0.

This is the second year of the partnership between FA Racing and Logitech G, and today’s announcement highlights the shared vision and commitment to advance simracing, develop the best gear and technologies for racing enthusiasts and to celebrate the skill, passion and competition of top drivers.

By partnering with Logitech G, the FA Racing team will compete using Logitech G equipment, and will be integrated into the design and development process for new Logitech G products and technologies.

“I”m excited to introduce a team of dedicated, talented drivers to represent my team for the 2019 season,” said Fernando Alonso, team owner. “I have hand selected some great young talent who are ready to continue bringing success to the team. Logitech G will continue to be our partner, providing us with all the necessary gaming equipment and technologies so we can be fully prepared for our second season of racing and beyond. Also during this season, we’ll announce new exciting partnerships and global projects that will expand our team footprint worldwide.”

The first big addition to the team is British F3 race winner, MRF Series champion and W-Series driver: Jamie Chadwick. Chadwick will combine her on-track success with esports, competing in iRacing with the team.

“Simracing has closed the gap on real formula racing when it comes to strategy, competition and skill.” Jamie Chadwick explained. “Joining the team with Alonso, with my other great teammates, will allow me to leverage my behind-the-wheel experience and formula racing skill set to compete in one of the fastest growing, competitive esports categories. With the help of my teammates, we are pushing to bring a championship to FA Racing.”

In addition to Chadwick, the athletes that have confirmed their participation on the Alonso FA Racing global esports team, include:
